Meh. Non-issue for me. I've owned ICE trucks for decades. Never towed a damn thing bigger than a two-wheeled trailer...and don't plan on anything bigger either. And the CT's bed is larger than my F-150's. I'm good.

What complete nonsense. Itā€™s evident that he never liked this truck from the get go. Always praising other trucks, but insulting the truck every chance he gets. Just return the truck and give it to someone who would actually appreciate it instead of bitching about it.

Studies show that negative advertising of a competitors product is more effective at influencing purchasing decisions than positive advertising of your own product. YouTubers are in it for the money, sometimes BIG money.

He claimed there were a couple other 'supposed' hitch failures from normal use, not just the Whistlin Diesel video. Can anyone attest to that? I google it and find nothing but the Whistlin Diesel video. Are there actually any other cases, or is it just parroting?

There's 1 that was for sale that had that failure and it wasn't Whistlin Diesel's, so at least 2.

He posted the video of the "third" from Whistling Diesel's video, but that could be the same one that was for sale.

Most likely 2, possibly 3.

If anybody follows his Twitter, he is pretty vocal about his disdain for Elon's politics--almost to the point of trolling and being antagonistic. It is a totally different persona than his JerryRigEverything tone. He is a big liberal and only started turning on Elon and Tesla once Elon came out in support of Trump. He was once a big Tesla guy and was at the original CT reveal, but changed in the last couple years. This video doesn't surprise me in the least.

This is true, he's got a pretty good hate on for Elon and has been open about it. iJustine reviewed the CT a few months ago and it was kinda funny, she had to comment about how she disagrees with Elon on just about everything but still liked the truck. There is so much social pressure on people in certain groups (of both political sides) to hate the other side. It's sad really. Where I live and who I associate with, that's almost non-existent. You run into a few Elon haters and probably a few more EV haters but most people just have objective conversations about products and don't care about politics. It's also amazing to me that a significant majority of people are still entirely clueless about EV's.

There was one other that claimed to have that failure. No proof given. We speculated here (baselessly, of course lol) that the hitch damage was due to rear-end impact.

As far as I am concerned, there are zero documented cases of the Cybertruck hitch failing under normal use.
